I am older now and been over weight all my life. I lost about 100 lbs. at one time and kept it off for about one year. That was in my younger years and I used exercising and diet, heavy on the exercising. I gain the 100 lbs. back. Then at 52 I had gastric bypass surgery. I was 309 and I lost down to 237. I weigh 262 lbs. at the time that I am writing this. So climbing back up again. I hope to use the tools here to keep on track and gain a more healthier life style. Update: Nov. 6, 2012 I have lost 36 lbs. since I started Sparkpeople tracking in May, 2012. In total I have lost 82 lbs. from my heaviest weight. I feel so much better and want to keeping going down.
